Middle Class Tax Cut and Job Creation Plan
As noted in our recent Tax Flash, on December 20, 2011, NYS Governor Cuomo signed legislation, known as the Middle Class Tax Cut and Job Creation Plan, reducing the state tax burden for millions of New Yorkers.
To supplement our Tax Flash, we provide below a breakdown by filing status of the new 2012 rates. The rate reductions are highlighted in bold.
